Fairchild Emerson/DuMont Clone News

[FND]

Found these Emerson/Dumont Manuals sometime ago and Fredric helped me identify them with the

Emerson/Dumont Warranty card pictured below.

 

So if your a Collector of all things Channel F you may have somemore new items to find

 

Looks like the Emerson Videoplay System had there own manuals here are scans of the front

of # 2, 3 & 4 although these do not have the name Emerson or DuMont on the manuals they

have the exact same design as this Emerson/DuMont Warranty card ( last picture below )

 

Here is an interesting clip I found on the DuMont Television history page

 

"The other DuMont assets were eventually sold or merged with other companies. DuMont sold its television manufacturing business to Emerson in 1958, and in 1960 DuMont Laboratories merged with Fairchild Camera and Instrument, where Dr. Allen B. DuMont served as group general manager and senior technical consultant until his death in 1965. While TV sets and other products bearing the DuMont name continued to be manufactured by Emerson and Fairchild into the 1970's, it was a pale reflection of DuMont's former glory. Eventually, the proud DuMont name was retired."

 

Having trouble posting the images so here are the links you will need to follow them to

see the scans, Sorry ?

While updating my Web Site I found this image on my HD not sure where I got it from but it

does show an Emerson system box along with a Warranty Card and 2 (what I think are system

manuals) for the Emerson System, Notice there are no game numbers on the front of the manuals

so I think One may be a system Manual and the other may be the manual for the games that are

included within the Game System?
